Warning About Sendspace

Cross-posting from my personal journal:

PSA: My computer is currently infected with a Trojan virus I'm almost positive I got from downloading a vid from Sendspace. I just thought I would warn others about a possible source of infection.

I am currently running the anti-malware software that someone in my comments suggested: http://talitha78.livejournal.com/184561.html .

I have McAfee Security, which let Vundo and others through in the first place the other day. But today it downloaded some updates and started zapping Vundo right away. Then I downloaded the latest Malwarebytes update and ran it and it found Vundo again and deleted it with some needing to finish deleting on a reboot. After that everything seems to be fine, so hopefully that's the last of it. I've just updated Firefox and am about to update Java since that's probably where I got into trouble.

That's exactly what happened with me. Hopefully that's caught it all.
